Jennifer has exhibited her work in several Colorado galleries and other public venues. Her paintings can be found in private collections around the world.

It is titled, Morpha, A Rainforest Story, written by Michael Tennyson and published by Colorado Mountain Club Press. Jennifer illustrated her second children’s book, Jesus From A to Z, written by Kevin Graham and published by Windom Publishing Co. in 2009. This book won nine national awards. Jennifer's paintings can also be found on the front cover and inside Mort Persky's book of love poems, Your Eyes That Told Me Yes, 2017. Her most recent published image is in a secondary student textbook, Samspill, a Norwegian publication of Cappelen Damm, 2017. Jennifer has illustrated three artist's CD covers - Lexi Lyon's "The Words I Finally Got Right," Anna Smith's "Birds of a Feather" and Naomi LaViotette's "We Don't Need Words."
